Welcome to Salty Popcorn - my site dedicated to expressing my opinion on films. Most of the reviews I read in the paper make me angry that they are either all so negative or I completely disagree with them. So now it's my turn. I hope you enjoy it and if you do sign up for updates on the left hand side. Thanks for stopping in!! PLEASE NOTE: My scoring of films is now based on an "Out of 10" score. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

The Sexual Scandals of Some of Our Greatest Animations

February 16th 2009 08:22
Category: No Category
While searching the net for random film facts I came across a site explaining all the controversial things that have gone into some of Disney's and the world's biggest animations of all time. I could not believe it - the Little Mermaid has a dedication to penises in it - LOL. Anyway, some of them have been argued as not true and some of them have been authenticated as actual.



1. THE LITTLE MERMAID
Basically this is a film about a guy who wants to get it on with a fish, great stuff to show the kids already. The Little Mermaid also has a picture of a penis in it. You know how Ariel’s dad is this big muscled guy with a huge trident who spends most of the time talking to a crab and firing supercharged liquid at an enormous witch/octopus hybrid out of aforesaid trident? He also lives in an underwater palace which is held up by penis-pillars.



2. THE LION KING
I absolutely LOVE the Lion King - my numero duo animation behind Happy Feet. About halfway through the film, Simba lies down and a cloud of dust rises from him and floats over the edge of a cliff. It then blows around a bit and very briefly forms the possible word “SEX”.



Disney allege that the letters spell out SFX as a tribute to the sound company that worked on Lion King, but that seems a little tenuous. How many films reference their backroom staff.

3. ALADDIN
This one is allegedly spoken and not viewed. At one point, Aladdin invites Jasmine for a magic carpet ride after some sort of song and dance. He shouts for Jasmine to come with him, then is heard muttering under his breath. What he’s saying is pretty vague, and Disney claim that he’s whispering “good kitty…take off and go”, which is kind of strange in its own right, but it does sound suspiciously like “teenagers take off your clothes”.



4. THE RESCUERS
Disney again, and this is the only one they haven’t even tried to refute. In fact, it was Disney who brought this one into the limelight. Generally, the image of topless woman in the background of this shot of the Rescuers flight scene would never have been noticed, only featuring on one frame of the 1977 theatrical release and any home releases up until 1992. However, the company decided to recall 3.4 million copies of the Rescuers because of the “questionable background image”.



Disney don’t accept responsibility for the picture, saying that it was inserted in post-production.

5. WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?
Whilst not strictly a family movie, this one definitely deserves a mention for its unabashed sexual references (it has even been hypothesised that when Jessica Rabbit comes out in that slit dress that she is going commando) and also because two of the cartoon world’s most venerable, respected characters are involved in one of the more offensive cartoon moments. At one point Disney’s Donald Duck seems to call Warner’s Daffy Duck a “goddamn stupid n*gger”.

One of the not so nice characters in the James Ellroy's L.A. Confidential was based on Disney. Don't know what that means.

No!!!!
Don't ruin it for me!!!!!!!
My poor innocent heart!

Actually I heard a bit of something similar to this a while ago, that all the 'songs' in these cartoons have some underlying innuendos. That the song 'A Whole New World' is referring to the first experience of sex etc etc.

Jimmy - I would love to know which character in LA Confidential - thanks for the trivia!

Amy - soz for the bad news It is interesting to know people secretly hide things in under layers. I love it! I don't know how much is accurate and how much is conspiracy theory.

Morgan - OOPS It completely slipped my mind - link it through!!

Sam - I don't think Disney knew about most of them until it was too late. Most likely it is more Tyler Durden style (Fight Club) - people placing their signature hidden deep inside the film that they can point out to people in the following years. Like Tyler does with penis shots in the films he projects.

Thanks for comments people - have a great day!

The character of Raymond Dieterling is loosely based on Disney. Why doesEllroy makes him a villain. I'm talking about the book here. The film is much better than the book.

I have a hardcore version of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ... As you might know dwarves are renowned for having large schlongs, despite their small body size.

Very funny Jason, some of these have been debunked on snopes but a guy was fired for the pic in the Rescuers. I think it makes it far more interesting for the parents to have an added bit of filth

Jimmy - thanks heaps for the follow up - I never read the book but loved the movie!

Cibby - you dirty dirty man If I find some more I will post them.

Rusty - totally agree on that one. It's a nice cover up but ridiculous - I reckon someone was fired behind closed doors over that one!

Raoul - oh poor Snow White - I bet she loved it This is getting filthy!

MNG - As long as Morgan's Gay Reindeer hater doens't find out - this will fuel him for years!

Cheryl - cool I will have to look into snopes but the sound ones are the only ones they could debunk - the visual ones are hard to deny. And I agree - I always want to see background nudity when watching kid's films

Thanks heaps for the comments guys and gals - have a great week!

Gosh, this is a far cry from looking for the Hidden Mickey in all his films!

I remember someone at high school turning up one day with a comic strip of The Flintstones involved in hardcore sex, it was very convincing and circulated widely ... until the teachers got hold of it.

Lilla - totally - and way more interesting than finding a director's cameo in a film.

Raoul - we had the same but it was The Simpsons.

Thanks for the comments lady and gent!

WoW, what a sharp and good vision you have here, Jason! I've viewed The Lion King for over 20 times, but I can't barely see the word, "SEX" appear after Simba blown the dust...

It sounds like sex is scattering all over the disney animations as well, Jason!

Wilson, thanks but I can't take the credit as someone else did all the hard work. It does sound like sex is all through the Disney films. You will have to watch Lion King again now!

Anonynous: LOL - I never saw the bum in the pic - I just thought Aladin and the Genie looked really gay - hahahaha. Thanks for the comment.
